Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Opposition Member, that is fine.
¶ 02 Hon. Presiding Member, I have little more to add. We need this election. Let us hold the local authority election. Even before holding it, seeing the fear of the entire Opposition—represented today by Sajith Premadasa, Ranil Wickremesinghe, Sajith Premadasa, Rauff Hakeem, Rishad Bathiudeen and others, including Namal Rajapaksa—who keep speaking together today, I will fall silent, noting that the National People’s Power will achieve an excellent victory according to the results they fear.
¶ 03 Thank you.
